Identifying Network Bottlenecks
Potential Places
- Network server
- Network circuit (especially LAN-BN connection)
- Client’s computer (highly unlikely, unless too old)
How to find it
- Check the server utilization (during poor performance)
- If high (ᡴ%),
- Then the server is the bottleneck
- If low (ម%),
- Then the network circuit is the bottleneck
- If between (40% - 60%)
- Both the server and circuits are the bottlenecks
